Alternatives
A SwissTransfer alternative for teams that ship from the terminal.
SwissTransfer is a strong option for polished browser-based file sending. dlvr.sh is a better fit when the file being shared is part of an engineering workflow and needs API, CLI, expiry, and download controls in the same flow.
Best for
Developer teams that need fewer consumer-style steps between a finished artifact and a working download link.
dlvr.sh
Focused on temporary developer file delivery instead of broad consumer file transfer.
SwissTransfer
Strong for privacy-conscious general-purpose file transfers through the browser.
Step 1
Create a temporary link for a binary, patch, or support archive.
Step 2
Pass the link to a tester or customer.
Step 3
Use the same flow for logs, debug captures, or datasets.
| Area | dlvr.sh | SwissTransfer |
|---|---|---|
| Target workflow | Artifacts, builds, logs, datasets, installers. | General large-file sharing for broader audiences. |
| Automation surface | API and CLI-first options available. | More browser-first. |
| Operational cleanup | Expiry is part of the main workflow. | Still a transfer service, but less developer-specific in framing. |
dlvr.sh is a stronger fit when the job is temporary delivery of builds, logs, installers, or support artifacts and you want expiry, passwords, download limits, and an API-friendly workflow in one place.
No. SwissTransfer may still be the better choice for its strongest native workflow. dlvr.sh is deliberately narrower: short-lived delivery for developers who need less ceremony and more control.
The current product supports temporary delivery up to 2 GiB per file, with short links, expiry controls, optional passwords, and optional download limits.
Next step
If your job is moving builds, installers, QA archives, logs, or support bundles, start with dlvr.sh’s software-distribution workflow and keep the handoff intentionally temporary.
